The search for missing California teenager Kiely Rodni has led divers to a body inside an upside-down car under 14 feet of water as officials are yet to confirm whether that's Ms Rodni or not.
Adventures With Purpose, a volunteer group that helps find missing people underwater, said on Sunday afternoon that it had confirmed the body found in Prosser Lake belonged to the vanished 16-year-old.
"We just found Kiely Rodni," said Adventures With Purpose on its Facebook page, adding a prayer emoji and a crying face emoji.
"Car is upside down in only 14' of water. We have CONFIRMED Kiely is inside. Family notified, law enforcement on their way."
A spokesperson for the Placer County sheriff's office told The Independent that she could not yet confirm the body's identity, but that investigators from local police forces and the FBI are at the scene.
The Northern California teen had been missing since early August and was last seen at a large party in the small hours of 6 August beside the lake near the town of Truckee in the Golden State's Tahoe National Forest.
The desperate search for 16-year-old Kiely Rodni may finally be over after volunteer divers said that they had found her body inside an upside-down car under 14 feet of water.
But the mystery remains over exactly what happened to the California teenager after she vanished from a party at a northern California campground on Saturday 6 August.
Kiely was last seen around 12.30am that morning near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, the Placer County Sheriff's Office said.
She is described as white, 5'7" tall, and 115 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She has numerous piercings and jewelry, including a nose ring, and was last seen wearing green Dickies pants and a black tank top.
